Black Panther movie review: With almost a civil war like situation in Wakanda, each character has a purpose and it’s well defined. Black Panther, the 18th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, checks all the boxes of a popcorn entertainer with some slick action sequences, a dramatic plot and a hook for the next Marvel movie, Avengers: Infinity War. The director can choose the colours as he likes, the brush strokes he’s in the mood for and if he manages to present an enchanting canvas, you are transfixed and this is exactly what director Ryan Coogler does with Black Panther. The film spends enough time on building Killmonger and that includes taking T’Challa out of the story for a while but it serves the bigger picture. With umpteen amounts of vibranium that they hold, this is their biggest weapon which could very well blow up in their face as well. To the world, they are a struggling nation but in reality, their technology is something that could inspire Charlie Brooker for another season of Black Mirror. There are scenes where you get the director’s reference of calling Black Panther the James Bond of MCU.
